Mustafa Khattab – Living The Quran
AI: Summary ©
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Muslims in multiple countries, including Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Yemen. The Quran is not meant to be read or written on the wall, but individuals can be recited and applied to their daily lives. The message of the Quran is to keep in mind behavior and reflect on the Bible. It is important to read and apply the Quran to achieve success, and cultural differences between the Arabic and non-B carriers are discussed.

And Alhamdulillah
I bear witness that there is none worthy
of our worship except Allah
And I bear witness that Muhammad
is the Seal of the Prophets and the
Final Messenger to all of humanity.
Whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides, there is
none to misguide, and whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala leads astray, there is none to guide
the right.
So over the last few years, Alhamdulillah, I
got the chance
to study most of the existing translations of
the Quran, and and also the different tafasir
of the Quran, because we have been working
on a new translation of the Quran, it's
called the Clear Quran So I was able
to study the Quran,
more closely
For those of you who follow the news,
they, they see the misery in the news.
You see the pictures of Syrian kids. See
the one that has been over the news
over the last couple of days, Adnan?
Sorry. And before that, the brother was drowned
over the coast of Turkey, and so on
and so forth. These are miserable situations, and
you see, subhanAllah,
like, in the case of a lot of
Muslims in the world, the most refugees in
the world are Muslim,
orphans are Muslims, widows are Muslims. The cheapest
blood on earth is the blood of Muslims.
And you see the misery and the suffering.
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Yemen, Egypt, Libya,
almost all of them.
And SubhanAllah, when you read in the Quran,
there is something,
the Surah Al Quran called Rabdulillah Sadr Al
A'z,
connecting the beginning of the Surah with the
ending, and this is something unique in the
Quran. The Surah of the Quran begins by
talking about something,
and it concludes by talking about the same
thing. I'll give you one example.
So for example, when you read at the
beginning of Surah Ta'ah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says Taaha,
Ma'anzamna'alaykum
Quranalitashqah
You Muhammad is talking to the Prophet
We have not revealed this Quran to cause
you misery and distress.
This Quran was revealed to you to give
you happiness and joy in this dunya and
in Afar.
And at the end of the Surah, it
talks about, of course, it talks about the
story of Musa,
many pages, and so on and so forth.
It talks about the story of Adam. Then
at the end of the Surah, it says,
Those who turn their back to the Quran
will live a miserable life. So the beginning
of the Surah says, those who follow the
Quran will be happy, will have a decent
life, and at the end of the Surah
it says, those who turn their back to
the Quran will live a miserable life.
You read that you read at the beginning
of Surah Muminun, kadaflahal muminun al ladinahunfil salatiem
khajarun
The believers are successful. And at the end
of Surah Muminun says, In Nahulayuflifal
kafirun. Indeed, the Kuffar will never succeed. So
it gives you the opposite that connects the
beginning of the Surah with the end, and
this is very common in the Quran. This
is from the the ajaz of the Quran.
So those of you
who follow the news, and they see the
suffering and the misery,
SubhanAllah!
Now, the advancement of science and technology and
medicines, you see how many hospitals all over
the world, and more and more people are
getting sick.
The means of entertainment,
how many theaters,
movie channels,
Netflix, and all these things, but still more
and more people are getting stressed out.
You see, the world is coming closer because
of the Internet and because of Facebook,
but still now, more and more people are
living in raccoons.
When you if you go visit someone, you
look at their kids, each one of them
has a tablet, has an iPhone, or an
iPad, and they are just they're stuck, they're
glued to their their iPhone or their iPad,
they don't talk to each other anymore.
Even if they want to ask each other
about something, they will just text each other
on Facebook. Of all, they are living, they're
staying on the same room.
So this is how miserable people have become.
The United Nations has been established, or was
established many years back, but you see more
people are getting killed, and more wars now
than before the United Nations,
peace, whatever. Right?
So, people do things, and it goes to
the opposite because, what?
Because of what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
telling us in the Quran.
Those who turn away from the Quran, they
turn their backs to the Quran, they will
live a miserable life. I don't find
any better term to describe the situation in
the Muslim world, or the world in general
now, than the word bank. Banki in the
Quran.
Those who turn their back to the reminder,
which is the Quran, they will live a
miserable life.
For a lot of Muslims,
Quran is something
that is used for Barakah only. It is
not a book of life, it's a book
of Barakah.
So they read it, for example,
or they put it, like, on the wall,
something like this, they put it on the
wall in their house, just for Barakah.
They put a copy of the Quran,
in their car, like, especially back home when
they don't have car insurance, they just put
it on the windshield or the dashboard, and
they put it in the back, just for
Barakah, like, for insurance, to protect the car.
And, in the houses, you see the, you
know, the things they, you know, they put
on the wall, they inscribe Quran on God,
or whatever, and they put it on the
wall,
You know,
so even back home when you look at
the thieves,
the corrupt people they always have statements from
the Quran behind them on the wall, like
this is a gift from Allah,
This is the the ayah from the Quran
they put behind them. Right?
And so on and so forth. So people
don't use the Quran the right way. The
Quran is not meant to be put on
the wall in gold. The Quran is meant
to be recited and understood and applied to
our daily lives.
For some
people, in the Quran,
So back home, most of the time, a
lot of people have no conviction whatsoever with
the Quran, unless someone dies. They start to
recite Quran for Janazah, but after that, nothing.
As if, the Quran is the book of
the death.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is telling us in
the Quran, istajibulnaverasuriya
da'atulina yuhheekum The Quran is a source of
life This is what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
calls the Quran in the Quran itself
So it's a source of life, it is
not meant only for this.
For a lot of people,
when they think about the Quran, they think,
Oh, this is a history book, an ancient
book.
And, you know, it talks about Musa 3000
years ago, about,
Muhammad Salazar, 1500 years ago. It talks about
the children of Adam, Bani Adam, Bani' Adam,
Bani'ida,
who knows how many 1000 years ago.
So for them, some people think, well, it
is not very much relevant to our life
these days.
Well, subhanAllah, if you read the Quran very
closely, you will see that it is very
relevant, because history
has a habit
of repeating itself.
When you read about Firaun, Pharaoh in the
Quran,
how many Firauns,
pharaohs you picture in our time?
In that country, in that a lot of
pharaohs.
When for example you read about,
So when it talks about abused and oppressed
men, women and children,
you said Umrah,
who say You Allah! They cry You Allah!
Take us out of this oppressive land! Give
us a savior! Gave us someone to protect
and help us! By your help and your
grace.
So you picture the people of Syria, the
people of Iraq, and the people of Palestine,
and so on and so forth.
When you read for example about the story
of Yusuf Alaihi Salam in the Quran.
So I picture the temptation of our youth
in our times because the temptations are so
high
and so on and so forth. The stories
are repeated all the time. So when you
read the Quran,
those who read and reflect and contemplate
the Ayat of the Quran, they can easily
relate what is mentioned in the Quran to
our daily lives now. Because as I said,
history repeats itself all the time. So you
will find something relevant in the Quran.
You see, in the Quran Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is telling the Prophet
about the story of Musa and how pharaoh
was a tyrant in the land, and eventually
he was destroyed.
Even to the Prophet this
was a reminder
of this sunnah of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
That the oppressed
will prevail at the end, and the oppressors
will go down,
and Jahannam at the end. So, this is
also a lesson for us. So, the Quran
is very relevant today, as it was at
the time of the Prophet SAWHANNAH
So what is the Quran? What what does
it represent for us? We need to keep
in mind
that the Quran, when you look at this,
the Quran is the finest revelation from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Asan Al Hadith. This is
how it is called in the Quran itself.
One thing unique about the Quran,
as a book,
it's probably the only book in the world
that doesn't have the name of the author
on the cover.
You think of any other book,
no, it has the author on the cover.
But the Qur'an doesn't have an Author on
the cover. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals
Himself on every page. He talks about the
Qur'an, He talks about the purpose of life,
He talks about the believers, the kuffar, He
talks about jannah, jahannnah, kisaab, all these things.
So this is what is unique about the
Qur'an.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala revealed the finest book,
Aksana Kitab,
Li'ashlafi Nabi
to the Finest Prophet,
it's coming from Rav Bilal Amir,
Through Jibreel Alaihi Wasallam, the Finest Angel,
in the Finest Land, Makkah,
in the Finest Month, Ramadan,
on the Finest
Night, Laylatul Qadr to the Finest Umma, khairummatitikhjjajatilinas.
So it's the Finest, from the Finest, through
the Finest, to the Finest, in the Finest,
on the Finest,
it's all Finest.
For the Finest Ummah revealed to the people.
What is also unique about the Quran, it's
the Last Revelation from Allah
Wa'idhali
So Umu Ayman, when the Prophet SAWA wasalam
died,
she was crying, and she was always in
tears, and some of the sahabas said, okay,
why are you crying? You know, we understand
the Prophet SAWH passed away. It's a very
very difficult time for all of us, but
we know that the Prophet SAWH was going
to die. He's not eternal, he's a human
being, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is telling
him in the Quran, You Muhammad
You Rasool Allah, you will die, and everyone
else will die. So we know. She said,
I'm not crying for this.
I'm crying
for the revelation of what that has stopped
completely
because from the beginning of time from Adam
through Nuh and Ibrahim
and Musa and Issa and Dawood and Surayman
and all these prophets.
We know from authentic Hadith that, the number
of Prophets who were sent,
124,000
Prophets,
a fewer number of them were messengers. They
received revelations,
but with
the death of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
this wahi, this revelation that have continued for
1000 of years,
is over now. Khalas. No more revelations. The
Quran is the final. It's the final. Khalas.
It's finished.
So she said, I'm crying because now the
revelation is stopping. We're not getting any revelations
anymore from Allah
This is why she was crying.
We know that Allah
is challenging people in the Quran, all the
time,
to show them that this is the truth.
It's in the Quran, we will always continue
to show you miracles and signs in the
Quran, in yourselves, in the universe,
to know that this Quran is the truth
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And he is giving us
what they call in in science, they call
it falsification test. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
challenging humanity,
and He is telling us if you think
this Quran is not from me, okay?
You gotta do 1 of 3 things.
He says number 1, if you want to
prove that this Quran is wrong,
find 1 contradiction
If this Quran was from anyone other than
Allah, you will find a lot of contradictions
in it
Find one if you can
Now I know some of you go to
school
when you turn the paper to your teacher,
you give them the paper and assignment,
you challenge your teacher, well this is my
assignment,
I challenge you to find one mistake.
So this is the way Allah
Allah is presenting the Quran to us, find
one mistake, they have been trying forever, no
one could find a mistake in the Quran.
Number 2, Allah
is challenging us, if you think this Quran
is not from me,
make one like it in Arabic. In
Surah 2 of the Quran, Surah Baqarah if
he said, If
you think this Quran is not from me,
make one like it.
And this is in the 2nd Surah. In
Surah number 11, there are 10 Surahs before,
He says, If you think this Quran is
not from me,
Fattu Be'ashri Surahim Mithlihi Muftayyah
This is Surah number 11.
So Surah number 2 it says, Make one
like it. Maybe it's talking about Fati Hadhamah
before. Surah number 11, Surah number hud. Surah
number 11, he said if you think this
Quran is not from me, make 10 like
it. The 10 Surahs before because this is
Surah number 11.
So SubhanAllah, the challenge is still there, no
one was able to take the challenge.
Allah SubhanAllah Wa Ta'la, challenge number 3, is
telling us, if you think this Quran is
not from Me, then watch, I will preserve
this Quran forever.
Now if you think about it,
millions of people throughout history, or probably billions,
they memorize the Quran. Not a single book
other than the Quran has been memorized by
so many people.
And if all the books in the world
are burnt,
or thrown in the ocean, only the Quran
will survive.
Because it will come back in a matter
of days because we have millions of Afas
including the brother right here, Umaydi Adan, he
is Hafid al Quran Masha'Allah.
So people will always
bring it back from memory and write it
down. This is from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Other books,
Kitabu Ibrahim, Sohu Ibrahim, they are done. We
don't have them.
Dawood Alayhi Salaam is Zaboor, Tarah ijil corrupted
over time. Only the Quran is protected, and
this is from the challenge of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
How do we approach the Quran?
Because we, as Muslims, we know that this
is the connection. There are some revelations, some
traditions from the Prophet SAWH
that say that the Quran
is a Saba, a rope, between you and
Allah. So he says in the hadith, one
end of the rope is in the hands
of Allah,
the other end of the rope is in
your hand.
So when you read the Quran, you have
this connection between you and Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
We need to be reading the Quran more
and more. If you want to understand the
purpose of life, the solution to the misery,
the pain, and the problems we have in
our world, Go back to the Quran, and
read the Quran, and of course,
you have also to read the sunnah because
both of them came from Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. A
hadith are also by what? From Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala to the Prophet
And listen to the Quran. The Prophet SAW.
SAW. Although he used to read the Quran
all the time, he used to listen to
the Quran from other people. There are so
many Hadith.
Abdullah ibn Mas'ura radiAllahu
faqalainuuhibu
anasma'hu Milayl. I would love to hear someone
else recite the Quran to me. So Abdullah
ibn Mas'ur, it's an authentic hadith in Bukhari,
started to read from Surah An Isaa from
the beginning,
3, 4 pages he recited,
until the prophet Abdullah
ibn Maswud recited this ayah.
So in this hadith,
Abdullah ibn Azrul started to read for the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, recite Quran, and
he recited from Surah 4, Surah Alaihi Wasallam.
From Ayah 1, he recited 2 or 3
pages, until he came to this Ayah. Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, I'm not just, adjust
to anyone in the least,
even if you do something small as an
Adam's weight, you will see it on the
Day of Judgment.
How will it be, Ah, Surah Allah, on
the Day of Judgment? We will bring a
witness from every people of their Prophet to
witness against them, and we bring you, You
Muhammad, as a witness over humanity.
Then the Prophet was
crying and he told Abdullah Nasruww that's that's
enough
in another authentic hadith, Abdullah Ubayib Nika'a
You Ubayi Allah gives you Salaam, Ubayi was
one of the scribes who used to write
the Quran for the Prophet SAWHAN
He said You Ubayi Allah gives you Salaam,
and he told me Tilu Ubayi ibn Kaab
to read Surah Bayinah for you.
So Ubay ibn Ka'b was astonished, he was
stunned.
And he said, Did Allah
mention me by name? Did he ask you,
till Ubay ibn Ka'b to read Surah Bayyina
for you? He said, Yes. Yes. Allah mentioned
you by name. Subayr radiAllahu anhu started to
cry, because what a great honor.
So we need to read the Quran, and
listen to the Quran.
We need to reflect on the Quran, and
apply it to their lives.
We know what is halal in the Quran,
and what is haram, and so on and
so forth. We know theft is haram, abuse
is haram, shitting people's blood is haram,
rebal is haram, pork is haram,
so on and so forth. Everyone knows what
is halal and halal, but they need to
back it up by reading the Quran,
and to be attached to the Quran.
Abdullah ibn Allahu Alaihi Wasallamu He was sitting
with his wife one day, he was sick,
he was lying when his wife left,
and he started to cry,
and his wife started to cry with him.
He said, well,
I was crying, I know why I was
crying, but why did you cry?
So she said, well, I saw you crying,
I cried like you, to support you, emotional
support.
Now you, he said, I saw you cry,
She said, I saw you crying, I started
to cry like you.
He said, the reason I'm crying because
I remember this ayah from the Quran that
talks about Jahannam,
and the salah, the bridge between Jannah and
the hannah, and the ayah says, none of
you, except that they will pass over this
bridge over Jannah, so Abdullaha Rabnuwaha said, Wallahi,
I was not sure if I'll fall down,
or I will be saved and go to
Jannah, this is why I'm crying.
So this is the understanding.
So reading, reflecting, and applying the Quran to
your life, and also if you are able
to memorize,
Alhamdulillah.
Memorization is a great honor from Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. If someone memorizes the Quran,
there's an authentic hadith that says on the
day of judgment, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would
put a crown of gold and pearl over
your head,
and the person will ask, You Allah, why
am I getting dishonor? And Allah will say,
This is because your kids are khafar.
They memorize the Quran.
But memorization by itself is not enough. Memorization
without understanding
and applying is not enough. It's not a
good thing. We just add another copy of
the Quran.
But the people who memorize it and they
don't apply it and they don't understand it
they will not be they will not be
from the people of the Quran on the
day of judgment. Nas Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
An YajAAalalalalal
Quran
The Quran has been translated by so many
people.
Muslims and non Muslims, those who speak Arabic,
and those who don't So
even if you read the Quran in translation,
you still get something out of it
Allah
knows
that around 85% of Muslims are not Arab.
You see, a country like Indonesia, one single
country, one single Muslim country,
it has more Muslims than all Arab countries
put together, 24 of them.
One single non Arab country has more Muslims
than all Arab countries combined.
So 85%
of Muslims are not Arab. Indians, Pakistanis,
Turkish people, people from Africa, Latin America, Europe,
Australia, from different places, they don't speak Arabic.
So when you read the Quran in translation,
you still get something out of it. Yes,
it's good to study Arabic and try to
read in the original language,
because no translation
will ever replace the Arabic.
But if you can't, then by just reading
the English translation, or the French, or the
Urdu, or the Turkish, you will get something
out of it.
So I'll give you this story, and then
we'll conclude, insha'Allah.
So I mentioned this story a few days
ago, at our Dawah training. So Insha'Allah, after
Jum'ah, check out our booth downstairs,
because tomorrow is the International Dawah Day, so
we have our Dawah team here in the
Mas'id. We'll be doing Dawah in Toronto and,
Niagara Falls, Insha'Allah,
giving out Quran translations and Dawah material, and
we'll be giving out cold bottles of water
with a label that has a Ayat from
the Quran,
and a website so people, if they want
to know more about Islam, about the Quran,
they can visit that website.
So this guy is a new Nazi, from
the US, they shave their heads bold, they
have this * that hitla kid a lot,
kid fool,
and he hated
non whites.
So If you are brown, if you are
Asian, if you are black, you'll be in
trouble if you get on that guy's way.
They hated non whites.
This guy was very violent, because he used
to do drugs,
and he used to fight with his mother.
So one day, he was fighting with his
mother, and he pushed her to the side,
she fell down, she hit the wall or
the chair, she caught her head.
So he ran away from the house because
she called 911.
So he said if I go to my
friend's house, George,
and I stay in his house the police
will find me. I'm gonna go to a
place where no one will think I'm there.
The library.
He doesn't go to the library. Okay, so
he went to the library and he was
sitting there on the table
and he noticed that everyone is reading a
book
in a book, different fields
math, science,
English, poetry.
So, he said, I gotta read something man,
because if I sit here without a book
people look at me like, I'll feel I
look like a zombie, because everyone is reading,
I'm sitting here doing nothing.
So, he just put his hand in the
shelf, and ran the book, he got a
random book, and he started to read, it
turned out that it was Quran.
It's a true story.
So he started to read, he read
the introduction, eventually this guy became Muslim.
Allah, it's a true story. And at the
end of the story, they say this guy,
he quit,
the drugs he was using, and he became
very nice to his mother, Sila Dorani. And
the funny thing at the end of the
story, it's not funny, but interesting, at the
end of the story, he got married to
an African sister from Kenya.
A black sister. Right? The same people he
hated, or he used to hate, because in
Islam, Islam removes racism from the people.
So, still, by reading the Quran, he got
something out of it.
The sister who visited, and this is also
a true story, happened in Edmonton, a new
Muslim sister told me that her friend was
non Muslim.
She had been Muslim for 2 years, this
Muslim sister. She invited some of her non
Muslim friends, They came to our house for
lunch,
and this Muslim sister, she didn't know, she
kept a copy of the translation of the
Quran in the washroom.
You know, some people like to sit and
read newspapers,
they like to sing because of the echo
and stuff, so she came she kept the
English translation in the washroom.
She didn't know the ruling, but at the
end of the day, the English doesn't take
the exact same ruling with the Arabic, because
what is sacred is the Arabic. So she
didn't know. She kept the copy in in
the washroom, then the non Muslim friend came,
she used the washroom, she started to read,
and eventually,
she took shahal.
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives Hidayah in
mysterious ways. So she got Hidayah in the
washroom. Who who can imagine something like this?
So by just reading the translation, Insha'Allah, you
will get some of the reward.
Insha'Allah, after Jum'ah, there's a table downstairs,
Brother Abarissa, he's going to be standing there
with his wife, Insha'Allah,
and they will because we'll be releasing our
translation of the Quran. It's called the clear
Quran, and this is the Arabic English edition
hardcover.
And I'm gonna conclude with this. It's something
interesting, so I thought I might, share it
with you. A few years ago, 3 4
years ago,
I moved from Edmonton to Toronto to stay
for 1 month at a masjid on Dundas,
downtown.
So, every Jummah, I used to go get
2 or 3 Khutbas,
and leave, and of course,
I used to go to the hotel from
the Masjid, or back and forth.
The cab driver
cab drivers all the time, they were called
Most of them were Muslim. Right? So all
the people who took me from the hotel
to the Masjid, back and forth, were Muslim.
So, that one day,
3 4 years ago, summertime, August,
the cab driver was not Muslim.
So, out of nowhere he said, You know
what?
Muslims are good people, but Islam sucks. Islam
is evil. I said, okay. It reminded me
of Fox News. I started Fox News for
PhD for 5 years. They say the same
thing. Muslims are good, Islam is bad. So
it is better if you leave Islam, you
will be good. This is what they say.
So I said why? He said because the
Quran calls me Ayoan.
Your Quran calls me animal.
I said well, I know the whole Quran
by heart. It doesn't say that anywhere.
He started the Ayah from Surah Anfal
in Nashar al Dawab binindallallahu ladheena kafar. Indeed
the worst
Dawab in the sight of Allah are the
Kufar.
I said I speak Arabic. The word Dawab
bin Arabic does not mean animals necessarily, but
it means all living beings. All the things
that move on the face of the earth,
human beings, birds,
the squirrel in your backyard,
they are called all called dawab. The words
of all beings, human or living beings in
the sight of Allah are the those who
disbelieve,
and those who violate their treaties with Muhammad
all the time. He said, No, this is
what my translation says.
So I went home, there is this website,
it's called Islam Awaken, they give you a
translation of the Quran, one verse in Arabic,
40, 45 different translations in English,
and I looked at them,
yes, the man was right! Most of them
say animals or beasts,
right?
Then I realized
how many mistranslations
and mis you know,
false
translations are there, because most of them were
not done by Arabs. People don't speak Arabic,
they translate it. Muslims and non Muslims. People
are not well established in Qur'anic studies, in
Arabic, in English, in translation, they they know
nothing. They just translate.
And those who actually know Arabic from Egypt,
from Lebanon, from other countries who translate the
Quran, they complicate things for no reason, they
make it very difficult.
Even for Muslims, when you read the Quran,
well, it's all English, Shakespeare man, what is
this? You don't understand.
Horrible mistakes in translation. I'll give you one,
the Kharaz will let you go, insha'Allah.
And this is why a lot of people,
they attack the Quran in translation,
thinking that this is what the Quran says,
but this is what the translator
did in the translation, it is not the
Quran.
So one ayah from Surah Anbiya, it talks
about Yunus alaihis salam
Then Noon, the man of the whale,
Itharba Muwadab, and he left his town out
in a rage,
for Vanna al Nafdura'alai,
thinking that Allah has no power over him.
This is what they say in translation, almost
all of them. But the word
it
doesn't mean that at all.
How come that a Prophet
think that Allah
has no power over them?
They use the dictionary and this is what
it says.
Here
means it is just like the other ayat
in the Quran. Why
not do?
So it doesn't say Allah has no power
over him, it says that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala will make things tight for him, He
will train him, because he left his town
without permission.
He put him in a very tight place.
What is it? The belly of the whale.
He made it very tight for him, and
this is in many places in the Quran.
Allah gives
unlimited
provisions,
resources to whoever he wants, and he limits.
He restrains. Allahu yapsu tur rizkalimaniasha
wa. This is the meaning only someone who
studied Arabic
formally, professionally, will understand this. But in translation,
they don't know. So this is why, alhamdulillah,
it took us,
several years, inshaAllah, to translate this translation. So
check it out, it's available for you, for
your kids. It makes it very easy for
them to understand the Quran, and when they
memorize, it shows them where to start and
where to stop. So we ask Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala to accept this effort from us,
and to make it easy for us, and
we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to guide
people to asrath and mustaqeem, and give us
the best in this life, and the best
in the life to come.
